Happy 109th Birthday Grandma

Right there with José, the other big Taurus in my 46 years on Earth. I always recall that she did live a rather remarkable life alongside my grandfather. Whether or not Grandma realized it remains a mystery. She also did … Continue reading

Happy Birthday José, aka the Hoser

He sent me this picture of mini-Bender getting run over by a Jeep. I guess he was trying to cross the street sober and now he’s stuck as a front-end ornament. Wishing Hoser the best today. At least he gets … Continue reading

Happy belated birthday to Ethan

It was two days ago but by then my pre-written string of stories had run out and let’s face it, I’m still adjusting to Daylight Saving(s) Time. I think he had a great day off from work, his wife Kelly … Continue reading

Super-belated birthday wish to Nelson

Nelson has been an awesome friend of mine since 1991, I just rudely never saw him that way until 1993 because he’s a tenacious dude! OK, I think the verb is appreciate. Either way, he celebrated last Saturday with Pi Day … Continue reading

Happy birthday Brian

Another little celebration in California with the better weather in store for him. Hopefully the food matches. As always for me, his card will be late yet I don’t think he counts on me too much there. According to his … Continue reading

The new son of my co-worker and great guy all around since I was in training with him 14 years ago, Troy! Oh Wesley is a sweet little kid there. I think he’s trying to bend me to his will … Continue reading

The oldest remaining young person I know in the Chicago area celebrates turning the big 1-5 today. Here’s hoping he has a good time despite the cold weather. We’re all working on a mini-trip for him to visit us in … Continue reading

Belated happy birthday to my sensei Lester

Thanks to his birthday being the last day of a month, I often miss/forget it, never mind the calendar software with reminders. It’s rather late because Somara got ill Sunday night and I think she gave some of it to me. I … Continue reading

Happy Birthday Melia!

Although Melia is about 1000 miles away, she is always present in many ways around Austin. For me, it’s bugging the kids to write me to back share their designs to help out with my nephews. The weather is pretty lousy in … Continue reading

Happy Birthday to Cindy

Last night I finished reading American Nations: A History of the Eleven Rival Regional Cultures of North America by Colin Woodward and I’m proud to say Cindy is atypical of what the author claims are the standard attitudes of the region. … Continue reading

Happy birthday Mark B

I rarely see the guy anymore because he’s busy working for the Dark Side (the DA of Williamson County, aka North Reaganstan to us in Austin) and probably still cleaning up the mess left behind by the scummy predecessor who I … Continue reading

Thirty years ago, when I was hanging out with my cousin Leesa during the sad events leading to our grandmother’s passing, I came to the realization that I wish I had an older sister. Leesa had just completed her first … Continue reading

Happy 16th Birthday to Nick!

A joyous occasion! My first nephew and/or niece was born on this day. Now he’s in the prime spot of being a teenager. Recently his dad told me what he’s into…mountain bikes (alright) and skateboarding (hmm). The latter gets the semi-disapproving noise because … Continue reading

Happy first Birthday Ben!

The future little Austinite will be having his celebration delayed by a couple days yet I want to get something out there to alert the world. I’m pretty stoked about his upcoming party, some kind of venue in which you … Continue reading

Happy 9th Birthday Cannon!

My youngest nephew celebrates today. Well, by the time this is published, he’s probably half way through the day given his residency in Qatar. I think he’s having fun thanks to his uncle visiting, not this one, one from the … Continue reading
